It was announced in early June 2008 that Crowe would return to write and direct his seventh feature film, initially titled ''Deep Tiki'' and ''Volcano Romance'', set to star Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon, and to be released by Columbia Pictures.

The film starred friends and co-stars John Cusack, Jeremy Piven, Mike Myers, Andy Dick, and Jeff Kahn.

Andy Dick

Dick has had a long rivalry with former ''NewsRadio'' costar Jon Lovitz concerning the death of their mutual friend Phil Hartman.
Kyra Sedgwick
She also starred alongside her husband Kevin Bacon in two films: the 1991 sex comedy ''Pyrates'', and the 2004 drama '' The Woodsman''.
Kevin Bacon
Richard Corliss of ''TIME'' likened ''Footloose'' to the James Dean classic '' Rebel Without a Cause'' and the old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland musicals, commenting that the film includes "motifs on book burning, mid-life crisis, AWOL parents, fatal car crashes, drug enforcement, and Bible Belt vigilantism." To prepare for the role, Bacon enrolled at a high school as a transfer student named "Ren McCormick" and studied teenagers before leaving in the middle of the day.
Mickey Rooney
Following this, he toured as Pseudelous in Stephen Sondheim's ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum''. In the 1990s, he returned to Broadway for the final months of '' Will Rogers Follies'', playing the ghost of Will's father. On television, he starred in the short-lived sitcom, '' One of the Boys'', along with two unfamiliar young stars, Dana Carvey and Nathan Lane, in 1982.
Dana Carvey
American stand-up comedian
He, along with newcomers Phil Hartman, Kevin Nealon, Jan Hooks, and Victoria Jackson, helped to reverse the show's declining popularity and made ''SNL'' "must-see" TV once again.
During the 1992 US presidential election campaign, Carvey also did an impression of independent candidate Ross Perot; in a prime-time special before the election, Carvey played both George H. W. Bush and Perot in a three-way debate with Bill Clinton, played by Phil Hartman.
Kyra Sedgwick
During the 1990s, she appeared in several Hollywood movies, including ''Singles'' (1992), '' Heart and Souls'' (1993), '' Something to Talk About'' (1995), and ''Phenomenon'', in which she played the love interest of John Travolta's character.
John Travolta
At the 86th Academy Awards, Travolta notoriously mispronounced Idina Menzel, calling her "Adele Dazeem".
